2016 got off to a good start
for the Wednesday club with a good turnout of members, once again the
recent spell of wet weather meant it was aerotow only, after Mike Fitz
and John Sil had inspected the field.
Aerotows
got underway with Mike Fitz and John St about 10:30am, first in the air
after a short delay due to the the orographic cloud collecting on the
west ridge, once airborne the visibility was clear as far as Dartmoor.
Although
there was very little sink about and bits of 'zero'- most flights were
about 20mins or so Martin W was the only one to find any lift and climbed
a staggering 50ft!
We
had three two-seaters on the go and a Junior and the aerotowing was non-stop until 3:30pm when we had to stop because of misting canopies, everyone
flew and some had second helpings, thanks again to Robert for his superb
aerotows and to Matt who held the fort whilst Robert had a break.
